Rolff I know very little about Greek, just simple word studied and a little more. I am assuming from your profile that you teach at a seminary, or work at one and teach students in a Bible study setting at night. I must admit to enjoying very much to trying to figure out what you meant. So I first went hunting on the web and came up with these two examples according to the information on the site - Hebrews 13:5 Luke 22:15-18 http://www.faithfulbible.com/ However, the site off course fails to explain why these two would qualify as being double or triple negatives. I like the few features of this site however, I bookmarked it. Now, I need to ask you to please teach me why these two examples qualify as double or triple negatives, if they really do, when in English and in Greek to English translations the English grammar "concpet" of what a double or triple negative is does not appear. Thanks. blessings abound, bowler |

Bowler, I spend most of my time in Administration and Christian Education at school. Sometimes I am on top of my Greek, other times not as much so. Second, I find this webpage a real encouagement to my spiritual life. I could have pulled a book off the shelf for the ten thousandth time, but asked a Christain brother and you got the blessing as well as I got my answer. I also learned a new webpage I will add to my links. Luke 22:15f reads in as literal English "And he said to them: With desire I desired this passover to eat with you before the me to suffer, for I tell you that no more by no means I eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God. In English we are only allowed one negative per sentence. In Greek, this is not true. They can use as many negatives for emphasis as they desire. Double and triple negatives are one of the more difficult translation difficulties. Here Jesus is telling the disciples he isn't going to eat the communion service until the Kingdom of God. Hebrews 13:5, Without the love of money [the] way of the life being satisfied with the things present hath said, I will never leave the nor forsake thee. Again, Jesus words, or emphasis that he would never leave us under any condition. don www.diduask.com |

Don, I have a high admiration for those that teach the kids of middle school age; it is a difficult age for the little ones, they require a great deal of patience, their teachers and their parents really have their work cut out for them. Matt 19:14. It is always so good to hear that our words edify a brother, and warms this old heart that all too often waxes cold. Thank you, Don! May the Lord bless your efforts, and may God be glorified. Shalom and God bless John p.s. Thing is though, running from or avoiding life, It always catches up to us! 1 Pet 3:14, 4:16 |
